1966 Ford Bronco Roadster, Completely Original Uncut Survivor on 2040-cars
Acworth, Georgia, United States
|
True un-restored and uncut 1966 Ford Bronco Roadster, U13 vin code. Built in October, 1965. Bought from original owner's son in 1994 in Charlotte, NC. 76,000 original miles; original engine rebuilt in 1999 but less than 1,000 miles since then. Has been in storage since 2000, driven occasionally until 2006. Pulled out of storage last year, taken to the mechanic for a complete check-up, new tires, and then detailed. To the best of my knowledge, the Bronco has never been wrecked. I've certainly never wrecked it, and I was told when I bought it that it had never even been in a fender bender. The gas tank leaks when full. New high-quality, custom-made seat covers (front buckets and rear bench) to match the original factory spec vinyl, including gray color (only color available on the '66 models) and texture, installed in 2000. Not sure if the paint is original (it's not been painted since I've had it) but is in very good condition. Small, slight bubble rust under paint in one place on front right quarter panel, near bumper (see picture). Slight surface rust on original floor pans; slight surface rust on the original bumpers. When I say "surface", I mean surface. Just had all fluids changed, new tires (235/75R15 Goodyear radials), new battery, new brakes, rebuilt master cylinder, new right front brake cylinder, new front axle seals, points, rotor, exhaust gasket, manifold re-surfaced, and carb completely rebuilt. Pull to the right when breaking hard, but I've yet to see an old Bronco that did not do this. Less than 5,000 Roadsters were produced by Ford. How many are still around? And how many are still around in this condition...uncut, unmolested, and un-restored? My guess is less than five. Features:
The successful bidder must make a $250 deposit via PayPal within 48 hours of the close of the auction. Full payment for the vehicle must be made within three days of the close of the auction. The vehicle will not be released until payment is received via bank transfer or other means acceptable to the owner. Sale does not include shipping. Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements and costs. I have tried to provide an honest description of this Bronco. I encourage anyone interested in bidding to view the Bronco in person, it is located in Acworth, GA. If you have any questions, please let me know prior to bidding. This Bronco is sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty implied or given. |

Ford board OK with Mulally stepping down earlier
Fri, 06 Sep 2013Ford's board is open to CEO Alan Mulally stepping down before his planned departure in 2014, inside sources are telling Reuters. Ford's plan of succession, aside from who would be his actual successor, has been something approaching common knowledge - the 68-year-old former Boeing exec had plans to stay through 2014. This was recently confirmed by Mulally himself on Bloomberg Television and in Automotive News.
Motivation for the about-face comes from what Reuters calls a "growing confidence" in the current crop of Ford execs, led by Mark Fields. Fields, Ford's current chief operating officer, has been tipped as Mulally's ultimate successor, although he's far from the only person with eyes on Ford's top job. Normally, Ford's board saying they're open to an executive, that's done very well for the company, stepping down early would be nearly unremarkable. It's the timing of this announcement, though, that makes this a big piece of news.
Recently, Mulally has been the subject of rumors that he's interested in taking the CEO position at tech giant Microsoft. The Redmond, Washington-based company's CEO, Steve Ballmer, told the media in August that he'd be retiring in a year's time. The fires were stoked when tech website AllThingsD speculated that Mulally would take the top spot, despite denials from the man himself. Could Ford's current boss become the new top dog at Microsoft? Will Mark Fields replace him? Could recently departed Renault exec Carlos Tavares land at Ford in some capacity? Let us know what you think below in Comments.
Wrap up some fun with Ford's commercial vehicle configurator
Tue, 27 Aug 2013Ford has combined multiple steps into one with its commercial vehicle configurator, which allows users to choose, design and place orders for the Transit, Transit Connect, E-Series vans and F-Series Super Duty trucks.
The most interesting part of the new configurator is a fairly robust design tool. Users are able to choose paint color and wrap the vehicle, and then create their own graphics. No materials are needed - Ford provides numerous background textures, text boxes, plenty of shapes and 20 categories of images including floral, construction, plumbing and skylines. Self-created designs or images can be uploaded to the system as well.
We played around with the design tool a bit and uploaded our own image to create the Autoblog Podcast Live van you see here. Feel free to check out the configurator and make your own design.
PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
